Comments My wife,a friend,and I did 7 dives with this operation. The first 4 were in Kauai.The week we were there it was a little choppy.The boat is excellent.The staff was polite and considerate of any limitations the divers had. Rock bottom with scattered beautiful coral.Sparse fish.Lots of turtles and more than a few octopi.
If you are going to Kauai, you have to go to Nihue. It is an undeveloped island 2 hours to the west of Kauai.The trip over is fine,the ride back is a little rocky.These fellas have a 41' boat.It is more than adequate for the voyage.Nihue was wonderful.The day we went,there were only 5 divers on the boat.We only saw one other boat.great walls,lots of fish,beautiful fields of leather corals,pods of spinner dolphins,and a half an hour with an 8' Monk Seal.I watched that animal for 30 minutes and I never saw a bubble come out of its mouth.I can't imagine how long they can hold their breath.
Seasport is very professional.polite and they seem very appreciative of the business.
